Hunting God Era

Chapter 45 Good Materials

"My goodness!"

After Yao Ledan landed, she didn't argue. Instead, she blurted out a local dialect phrase and stared blankly at the armored pig whose head had been chopped open, then glanced at Li Ye's fingers, which were covered in red and white substances.

"Are your hands that hard?"

Fighting the armored boar with weapons is like striking iron; killing one is very time-consuming. As for other demons, they are much more dangerous than the armored boar.

Yao Ledan had seen people who took the Vajra Pass route before. Even Yang Jie from their own school was considered halfway through the pass. He could withstand the Ironclad Boar's attacks without any problem, but he had no chance of instantly killing the Ironclad Boar.

The Vajra Pass is all about strength training, but none of them are like Li Ye, who can make a hole in someone with a single grab.

"What are you doing, flying around like that? Are you trying to save your energy? There's still plenty of time."

Yao Ledan said, "It will take a few more days to complete this training."

"I can't wait a few days," Li Ye said with a smile.

How many days?

How much of that would need to be distributed?

Since we're already here, it's best to clear it all out at once.

"Perfect timing, I've seen you all, so here you go." He held out his fist.

Yao Ledan: "..."

"No, isn't this a bit too fast? We've only known each other for a week. Even if you're exceptionally talented and have a limitless future, I still need to think about it!"

"what?"

Li Ye stretched out his hand and showed her the green bamboo dart mantis that had just poked its head out. "Didn't you want to recycle it? This must be very valuable."

Yao Ledan's eyes lit up, "Green Bamboo Dart Mantis? Captured alive?"

As she spoke, she took out her phone, turned on the flash, and shone it on the praying mantis, instantly stopping the mantis, whose little head was still struggling.

The Ironclad Boar's weak points are its eye sockets and rear end, which are vulnerable to physical attacks. The Green Bamboo Scyther's weakness is its fear of direct sunlight; it usually rests in the shade and comes out at night.

It's truly rare to be caught in broad daylight.

“I’ll take it! If you sell it to me, the school usually gives you 10,000 yuan, but I’ll give you 12,000 yuan, a 20% premium,” Yao Ledan said.

"what?!"

Deng Hao exclaimed, "This bug costs 12,000? It's made of gold?"

"Do you even know what 'visual appeal' means?"

Yao Ledan took the praying mantis, holding it tightly with the backlight of her phone shining on it. "Look at the jade-like color under this light, look at its forelegs that are like glass-type jade. This is much more valuable than jade. It's ornamental even if you catch it and keep it as a pet. You can sell it for 20,000 yuan to someone who likes it."

Buying insects for ornamental purposes.
Although I don't understand it, there are indeed people who like this kind of thing.

"Don't underestimate the usefulness of demons, especially these kinds of mutated plants and animals. Take the armored pig for example, although the meat doesn't taste good, it does have seasonings. The most valuable thing is the leather, which makes high-quality leather shoes."

"These rare green bamboo dart mantises, aside from their ornamental value, have forelimbs that can be used to make micro-carving tools for ophthalmology, and the small darts under their wings are also an excellent pain reliever. You've probably bought 'Mantis Pain Relief Patch,' right? That's the main ingredient."

"Huh? Is this the main ingredient?" Jia Dong was taken aback.

They actually bought this stuff before. When practicing martial arts at a gym, everyone gets bruises all over their body. Just buy a patch and stick it on the painful areas, and the effect is very fast.

Traditional Chinese medicine in this world is far superior to that of the previous generation, especially in China, where it holds a position that surpasses modern medicine.

There's no way around it; there are just too many things that can be used as medicine. Some of these demons are extremely harmful, but others also have medicinal benefits.

Every ingredient Li Ye ate was highly effective, far superior to the medicinal cuisine of his previous life.

For example, eggs. Everyone knows that eating more eggs can boost immunity, promote brain development, and protect eyesight, but in the past, nobody took it seriously because of its effects.

But here, anything related to demons, even an egg, has a very noticeable effect.

"Brother Ye."

After getting one, Yao Ledan immediately said with a grin, "Let's look for more. If we get a few more of these, we can skip this training."

"Do you think it's a cabbage? I don't have time to run errands for you. I just happened to be passing by and saw you. If I hadn't run into you, I might have crushed it. I'll see what happens then." Li Ye came to earn nutrient solutions, not to work for Yao Ledan.

After saying this, he once again created a wave of air, rose a few steps, and disappeared like a swimming dragon.

Deng Hao watched Li Ye disappear, then glanced at the armored pig below with a hole in its head, paused for a moment, and then asked, "Whose is this?"

"There are usually specialists who conduct the analysis and evaluation, and calculate the score, so don't worry."

Yao Ledan said, "It definitely won't count against you, after all, you didn't play any supporting role and almost got countered."

"Wouldn't that mean all that work was for nothing?"

"Otherwise what? You think you can just gain experience by killing monsters? The big boss is determined to steal the monsters, you won't get a single one. Take a break, go find the next one, searching for traces of demons is also part of your training."

……

Once Li Ye got serious, the martial arts students were basically out of luck. He spotted the most conspicuous Ironclad Boar, leaped down, and regardless of whether anyone was already fighting him, he grabbed it and took its life before moving on again.

In just two or three hours, Li Ye slaughtered every armored boar that could be seen within the training area.

Only after he looked down from the air and confirmed that he could no longer find any trace of the armored boar did he land on the trunk of a giant tree on the mountain peak and sit down to rest.

"There aren't many of them."

Li Ye estimated that he had killed about fifty of them, and then he could no longer find any trace of the armored pigs.

"Next, we need to look for them."

The Green Bamboo Dart Mantis is quite hard to find; during the day it's a matter of chance, and as for the night, training is not allowed in Dragon Mountain at night.

There are very few other types of demons, but there is one that Li Ye knows, and there should still be some in Longshan, which belongs to a similar category to the Ironclad Boar.

The swirling gray toad, also known as a frog, generally inhabits places with water.

There are flowing streams on the mountain; he saw signs of them when he used his light-footed skills to tumble around. If he follows them, he should be able to find this demon.

After resting for about ten minutes, Li Ye jumped up again, using the tree trunk for leverage, and took off into the air.
Not far from the entire Longshan Mountain, there is a small military camp. Inside the camp, on one of the surveillance screens, several staff members are watching over a hundred videos that reveal every training scene. On another monitor next to it, some personal perspectives are also displayed.

"That kid's pretty ruthless."

One of the staff members pointed to a video of a fast-moving creature, with the camera mostly in the air, occasionally dropping down to kill the armored pig.

The drone footage also showed a short-haired boy in a silver-white school uniform cleanly and decisively piercing the demon's head.

"Practicing martial arts that break through barriers? Which school is this one from that came to Longshan?" asked a man who looked like a military officer.

"It's still No. 14 Middle School. Their last training session isn't over yet, and this should be the last one."

The officer was taken aback. "Besides that little girl from the Fu family, is there anyone else at that school who's this skilled? There was someone with good lightness skills last time, but I don't think I saw him this time, and he wasn't as fast as them."

Before the summer vacation, No. 14 Middle School also trained in Longshan. Two people left a deep impression on them. One was a student who was two meters tall. He is still here now and has good external martial arts skills.

There was another person with excellent lightness skills, and although his claw skills were also quite good, he could still easily kill demons, but he didn't seem as clean and efficient as this person.

Even the officer himself was somewhat surprised by how swiftly he executed the task.
His lightness skill was only so-so, but when it came to attacking, he was utterly devastating.

The armored pig has a very tough exterior; even a pistol bullet can only barely penetrate it and get stuck under the skin. It's rare to see one like this, which can be easily punched and has a hole in it.

"The armored pigs are gone?" The officer noticed a problem.

"All the ones that were deployed are gone."

The staff member said, "Should we send out another batch? Otherwise, at this rate, they could finish this training in a day."

"The amount is what it is. What's the point of investing? If we invest this time, what will happen next time? We were going to clear out this batch anyway. We're not serving the schools; we're just helping them out along the way."

The officer waved his hand, then looked at the screen again. "Are you sure you haven't seen this person before?"

The staff member said, "No, it should be a newly promoted martial arts student."

The officer nodded and said, "Check who it is later. If the conditions are met, see if they have signed a contract. If not, sign a targeted contract."
